Pros and cons

Pros

  • The switching fee model is free, so running a comparison costs a household nothing.
  • Coverage reaches the whole market across 11 suppliers, so the Irish panel is seen in full rather than a selection.
  • One account covers energy, broadband and mobile, giving a household with several bills a single place to start.
  • The commission list is published, which is rare among switching services.

Cons

  • Support runs on email only, so anyone who prefers to talk a switch through has a single written route.
  • Coverage of 11 suppliers sits below the 30 median for switching services, so some Irish offers never reach the comparison.
  • The service is confined to IE, so a household outside Ireland gets nothing usable from it.

Who it suits

  • Households in IE who want to see the whole energy market before choosing a supplier.
  • Readers who would rather switch energy, broadband, mobile and insurance from a single account.
  • People who want to read a published commission list before deciding which offer suits them.

Who should look elsewhere

  • EnergieKiezer, if you plan to switch broadband, mobile or insurance as well as energy, since its range is energy alone.
  • Gaslicht.com, if an energy switch is all you need handled, since it covers energy and nothing more.

The company behind it

Switcher.ie is run by Switcher Limited, a company based in Ireland that has been trading since 2011. The legal entity behind the service is named publicly, so the business behind the comparison is identifiable rather than anonymous. Support runs on email, which keeps the help route narrow and consistent for every household instead of spreading across several channels.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to use Switcher.ie?+

Using the service is free at the point of switching, since the switching fee model is free. Nothing has to be spent to run a comparison or ask a supplier for a quote, and a household can read what is on offer before committing to a move.

How many suppliers can I compare?+

Switcher.ie covers the whole market and works across 11 suppliers, which is the Irish energy panel a household is most likely to meet. Because the whole market is included, the figures reflect what is on offer across the market rather than a limited selection.

Which services can I switch through it?+

One account covers energy, broadband and mobile, so energy sits alongside broadband, mobile and insurance. That suits households whose spending is spread across several providers, since each switch can be arranged in the same place rather than through separate services.

Is it built for Ireland, and does it work elsewhere?+

The site is built for the Irish market. The company behind it is based in Ireland and the markets it covers are IE, so a household living elsewhere would need a service that carries suppliers from its own country.

How do I get help once I have started a switch?+

Support runs on email, so help arrives in writing by email. That suits readers who prefer to keep a record of what was agreed, and questions can be sent at any point while a quote is being reviewed or a switch is being arranged.

Who is actually behind Switcher.ie?+

The site is run by Switcher Limited, a company founded in 2011 and based in Ireland. The entity that operates the comparison is named publicly, so a household can see which business it is dealing with before sharing details for a switch.

Do suppliers pay commission, and is that disclosed?+

Yes, the commission list is published, which means the amounts paid for referrals are set out openly. Readers can take that into account when weighing a listed offer, and compare the reward a supplier pays with the tariff it is actually offering.

How does it compare with EnergieKiezer and Gaslicht.com?+

Those services are narrower in scope. EnergieKiezer covers energy and Gaslicht.com covers energy, while Switcher also handles broadband, mobile and insurance, which saves a household running each switch on its own.
